From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I did a similar thing when starting out with KDE neon, but I found having windows annoying as it would keep breaking Linux's bootloader (grub) randomly because Microsoft is an asshole.
On my laptop, I ended up removing the windows disk altogether, and it's a much nicer experience.
Dual boot might be necessary at first, but if you can just boot Linux and use a windows vm on it, that would probably be a better idea.
Can windows also break grub on gpt or only legacy mbr?
